Our Verdict

Endgame Gear OP1 8k

Endgame Gear XM2 8k

The Endgame Gear OP1 8k and the Endgame Gear XM2 8k are lightweight wired gaming mice with very similar, outstanding performance but different symmetrical shapes. On the one hand, the OP1 8k is a bit more narrow in the middle with a lower profile hump and flatter sides that widen towards the back. It's also best for smaller hands. On the other hand, the XM2 8k is a bit larger with a broader backside designed to provide support for your palm.
